I've Never heard a smart media card called a floppy does it resemble a floppy, I've never seen one. There is a Sony Digicam which actually uses a normal floppy but it's a bit pricey. Has anyone any thoughts on the best system, Smart Media, those stick things or internal memory.

I have Kodak DC3800 with smart card which can be put into card reader for computer. Had some problems with the reader software but I also have Kodak (Lexmark) Picture maker which takes the card direct (no computer needed) it has a little console where the picture can be manipulated and prints well once you get the hang of it. This is not a cheap hobby though when you consider the price of the cartridges and the photo paper. The camera is neat though and small enough for your pocket - they have the version now which is just placed on a base and transfers to computer.
